Tokyo at night 🌃👌
A visit to Tokyo wouldn’t be complete without experiencing some of the cities highlights at night. From viewpoints, historic temples, cool neighbourhoods, dining experience and more. Looking for some ideas for your trip? Here are some of the top things to see and do in Tokyo at night.
Explore temples and shrines
Tokyo has heaps of temples and shrines throughout the city with one of the most famous being the Sensoji temple. This temple is the oldest in Japan and originates from around 628. Near it you’ll find an impressive 5-story pagoda, the impressive Hōzōmon gate (seen below), as well as Kaminarimon Gate. The Kaminarimon Gate is a popular landmark and was first erected in 942 but had burnt down. It has been rebuilt over the years and the one today was built in 1960. A popular feature of this gate is a giant lantern with a dragon engraving underneath.

See the city from the Tokyo Skytree
The Tokyo Skytree is the tallest freestanding tower in the world at 634 meters, and better yet you can go up it. The observation floors are on floors 350 and 450, and from these floors prepare yourself for dazzling views of the city for miles around. This perspective also gives you some idea of just how big the city is.

Enjoy local dining and cuisine
When visiting Tokyo (and Japan) then enjoying the local cuisine is an experience in itself. There are fantastic restaurants all throughout the city and a few nice options include San-Sada, located next to the Kaminarimon Gate near the Sensoji temple, or Nanairo Temariuta which serves beautiful and colourful sushi. This restaurant is also located in Shinjuku (see below), so perfect before heading on a night out.
